ABSTRACT
This chapter empowers the readers with a systematic and a holistic understanding of the myriad challenges of the KP families. Given the protracted nature of violence-triggered displacements, the family issues come to be meshed and entrenched into other issues, thus obscuring a clear understanding of the true nature of specific issues. Additionally, as the KP policy portfolio has remained woven around the singular "migrant" identity, Dugan’s Nested Model is leveraged as an analytical framework to help dissect the intertwining nature of the psychological, environmental, institutional, and technical issues of this community. In the context of the Nested Model, the specific issue for the displaced community is identified as “homelessness,” the relational issues pertain to the complex dynamic of Host/IDP relations, subsystem issues are traced to the value systems of the KP families conflicting with those of host communities, and finally the structural issues pertain to the obstacles of restoring livelihood and access to essential services. The interconnectivity of the IDP issues, as unveiled through this Model, suggests a similar comprehensive and holistic approach to community building.
